feeling it already?

I'm 3 to 5 weeks pregnant, and I already feel a lump low in my pelvis
when I sit in certain positions. (It's not a lump I feel with my hand,
but a sensation that I have a tennis ball in me.) Can this really be
happening? With my first pregnancy I didn't even know I was pregnant
yet; I don't remember when I first started feeling _full_ there, but it
wasn't this early. I'm pregnant with quadruplets, aren't I...

Do you mean 3-5 weeks from LMP, or 3-5 weeks actual pregnant? When I was 3
weeks LMP my baby hadn't even implanted yet ;-)
I know early on - long before I showed - I found it uncomfortable to sit on
my motor scooter, so there was definitely a sense of something in there many
weeks before I felt kicks.
Statistically, it's very unlikely you're pregnant with quads unless you've
been undergoing IVF - and even then it's unlikely ;-) If it was twins or
triplets the a better indicator early on would be extreme morning sickness,
and a better indicator still would be an unusually high blood hCG or an
ultrasound.

The moment that conception occurs and the embryo implants and starts pumping
out HCG and your body starts pumping progesterone, your bowels and digestive
system slow down considerably. You digest your food slower, and your bowels
move slower, all to retain as much of the nutrient value of the food you are
eating, in order to help your body feed the pregnancy. Usually when people
show very quickly, or feel full in those first few weeks of the first
trimester, it isn't the baby or even the uterus, it's the bowels.

So, basically, you're full of ****. : )

My LMP was June 22, and I believe I ovulated on July 14 or 15. I had a
positive home test, a negative test in the doctor's office, and then a
positive blood test last week showing I was -- I quote the physician's
assistant -- "three to five weeks pregnant." I go for my first real
appointment in a few weeks and I'll get it all straightened out then.

Interesting -- so maybe it isn't just my imagination. Thanks.

Quints. Sextuplets. Oh lord... Actually, I don't have morning sickness
at all, and the levels in the blood test were low. So it must just be
one freakisly large baby. That's the only possible answer.

Hi Anon

Welcome and goodluck on the pregnancy thing!!!!!!!! I was like you when I
first fell pregnant and thought I was 3 months as I was showing at 8 wks (as
told by scan) then I asked the scan woman why I was showing at 8 wks and I
could have sworn to have felt movement and just like Jamie said I was just
full of **** and wind. I am now 14 wks and am pretty confident that I am now
showing as all my friends are now commenting on the "bump" and I swear I
feel the odd flutter here and there but that could just be weired feeling
wind. What was funny was my hubby also swore he felt the baby kicking at 8
wks when infact all he was feeling and saying aww to was my farts. (laughing
as I type)

Well, according to your LMP you are almost 6wks, but according to ovulation
you are 5wks, which fits better with your HCG results.
Here's a pregnancy date calculator so you can look at different scenarios:

Even if you had multiple embryos, you wouldn't feel the size difference yet
(they're quite tiny). The size of the baby won't matter yet either. Fact
is, what you're likely feeling is bloating and constipation. Isn't it fun?

With my second pregnancy, I knew I was pregnant 4 days before my period was
due, way before I knew with my first one. I had a "fullness" feeling as
well. I think with the 2nd baby we are maybe just more aware...

LOL....
I _know_ I felt discomfort and a sense of pressure around where my cervix
would be when climbing on my scooter, but that was later, around 10-12
weeks.

hi
I know how you feel!! I myself am of 7weeks along and already it
knows daddy, the smell of foods, and how to make me sick and go running
to the restroom. I hope that the sickness stops soon I can't take much
more. Oh back to subject, At only two months I'm showing and you can
tell what side of me the baby is on!!! Just think what both you and me
are going to look like by christmas. But just stay with it, it slowly
gets better. I've gone from being sick all day every day to being sick
only in the morning and late at night and even that's getting better.

Best of Luck
Julie mom-to-be
